The internals of the down-draft box are the pick-up tube and dividers. The pick-up tube can be anything handy; PVC tubing, copper tubing, whatever you can get cheaply or gratis; I used leftover clear vinyl tubing from the dust collector system installation.

The holes for the pick-up tube must align when the box is assembled and they must also fit the tube snugly. A hole saw will suffice if it is deep enough, but a Forstner bit is ideal.
